"How would you define psychological problems?" "Well, that's a broad statement - psychological problems stem from a variety of factors for example chemical imbalances in the brain, childhood experiences, heredity, illnesses, prenatal exposures, stress, depression and...."
"OK, so the Zardis have accused Chaudhry Nisar of psychological problems because he reportedly rejected the summary sent by the Sindh government, signed by none other than the newly appointed Chief Minister, a highly educated man who was carefully selected by the party leadership to exactly do what the party leadership wanted him to do..."
"But didn't Qaim Ali Shah do that too!"
"Yes, however, people around the world do get bored with the same face but let me ask you two questions first. Are relations between the Zardis and the nawalas good?"
"I don't see what that has to do with this?"
"Answer me please and you will know why I am asking these questions."
"Well, if truth be told, no. And, they have reached a low ebb indeed what with The First Son, notably BBZ and his group of supporters going gung-ho about the Panama papers and Zardari sahib subjected to rude treatment by Mian sahib repeatedly what with giving him an appointment and then cancelling it after Zardari sahib's speech challenging the establishment and..."
"Right, so my next question is when these status quo parties reach a nadir in their relations with each other what do they do?"
"Two things, first they attack the attackers, or in this case pour scorn over Zardari sahib and other Zardis accusing the Sharifs of corruption given their own rather colourful track record - that side of the action is being spear headed by the First Daughter...."
"I would just like to add that the First Son is not implicated in any scam while the same cannot be said about the First Daughter."
"You can't help showing your political bias hunh! Anyway look at the difference in their ages, The First Son (BBZ) is in mid-20s and has really not held public office or indeed any job for that matter till now while the First Daughter is in mid-40s and responsible for a lot of shall we say paperwork..."
"Now who is showing political bias.....Anyway I would like to point out to you that Chaudhry Nisar not only attacked the opposition but unnerved the Zardis by rejecting their summary on limiting the rangers to Karachi so he is toeing the party line and if that's defined as having a psychological problem then tell me who in our politics does not have psychological problems."
"Indeed."
